Got a thrill this morning. Did a search on google for "pastel art" and

My painting I posted on Reddit (not one of my best, honestly) was result number 16. Flaming red tree. Two other paintings of mine posted on Reddit were within the top fifty search results.

I showed it to my husband and he laughed and said, hey, you are famous! 🤣🤣🤣

I find pastels impossible and I'm really impressed when someone can make them work.

Posting here anymore.

Sometimes things just die.

Pets die.
People die.
Spirits die.

Sometimes things just die.

And none of it matters, really.

The dogs may bark, but the caravan rolls on.

Even if you thought it wasn't a best one, other's may.
Doing art for yourself will always have admirers

I get a kick out of it ever time I check! The only negative is it isn't really my best work.
